New 'Potato Version' for lower-spec systems!


Alrighty, so it's come to my attention recently that some people's systems can't handle the big loading point that occurs once you get into the main office and meet Nyari (the pink-haired catgirl) for the first time :( And to be fair, even on my relatively decent PC, that load does take between 20-30 seconds, which is too long really! But the fact that it's causing some systems to totally freeze/crash instead of proceeding to load the rest of the game just sucks, and so I've spent most of today trying to fix that :3

I'm guessing (hoping) that the reason it freezes for some people is that their computer can't handle all the assets unpacking for the rest of the game all at once since Limbo Line is pretty asset-heavy >.< I would have included more loading screens initially, but because my PC ran it fine, I just assumed that would be the case for everyone, so I'm sorry about that :(

In order to try and fix the problem, I've broken the game up into much smaller chunks with multiple loading points instead of just 1 big one. In the Potato Version, the game will hit a loading screen with each new in-game day. 

On top of that, all the scripts for interacting with the PC, phone, and socialising with your colleagues have also been separated. This may mean that in the Potato Version, you might experience a slight freeze for a few moments when transitioning between the phone, PC, and socialising. But with any luck, it will prevent the game from freezing when trying to load the next segment! For the above reason though, if your computer can manage it, I recommend still downloading the regular version.

As always, I have no idea if the Mac and Linux versions even work, as I'm only able to test on Windows >.< And while I did a quick run-through of the story to make sure I didn't break anything while editing all the code, I couldn't check every single choice in the game because there are just too many. So apologies if I wound up breaking something in the process of trying to fix things! Feel free to report any bugs that you find here :3

Fingers crossed this works for at least somebody x3
